1. From the left menu, go ahead and select the Irr button

2. You will be presented with the Irrigation window with the Project tab selected.

Give the project a name.

3. Click the Blocks tab and give your new block a name and description. Click the Add New button and complete the steps to add a block.

4. After you added the new block, the layout window will contain options to add laterals with different emitter and row spacing. Click fill laterals and place the laterals in the block.

This should be a good foundation from which an irrigation designer can build.

The Model Maker Helpfile is quit extensive. You will find a complete example to get started with Irrigation inside the Working examples topic.

Furthermore, do not hesitate to contact us when you need help and we will gladly assist you via Teamviewer.

This is a full working copy of the program. You may install and run it in demo mode. Most of the functions found in the licensed program will be available with only some limitations on the number of elements you may add to a design.
After purchasing a full license, you will receive a security key (dongle) that will remove the limitations.

View this page to assist you with the demo download and to get started with the software.

After running the demo version and you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly use a TeamViewer session to show you the function details.

In today’s quicktip we have a block that is 1ha or 10,000 m2.

Dividing this block into 10 smaller individual ones can be done in a few steps.

Click the Auto button on the Blocks tab with the given block selected.

The Calculations and Blocks window will appear.

On this window, select the Flow that will be available to the area.

This factor will will be used to obtain the No. of blocks as well as Block size.

Once those settings have been made, click Divide in blocks.

Draw a line to indicate the base of the divided blocks.

After visually seeing what the divided blocks will look like, confirm their generation.

Turning of the display of the original block will clearly show the new divided blocks.

At this point each block can be edited and filled with laterals.

We suggest using Irrigation Software intelligently and believe you will benefit from this quick tip. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to let us know in the comments bellow.

Thank you for your time and attention.

In Irrimaker the irrigation node interpolates its elevation when initially placed on a DTM model. If the model is not available, the node elevation will be zero. When you later on place a DTM model underneath the irrigation design, the program is not automatically going to change the elevations. The Automatic Elevation function must be used for that.

You might have STARTED your irrigation without a DTM survey model and all the nodes ended up on a zero elevation. When a DTM is later available and you want to set all the irrigation nodes to the correct value, follow these steps:

To get the heights from the ground model and apply it to the nodes you should use the Automatic Elevation option.

Without checking the box, only the current block will be interpolated. Checking the box will re-evaluate all the blocks.

After completing the procedure, you will notice the nodes all have correct heights obtained from the DTM ground model.

Once you are there, enter Your Name and Your Email.

Press the Submit to enable the download link button.

You should at this point see a link appear, Irrimaker Demo (Click to download).

Click the link and click the Save File button.

The MM_Full.exe file will be downloaded.

Irrimaker is made up of a few Model Maker modules and that is why the file name is MM_Full.

After the download is complete, double click the downloaded file and select OK.

At this point you just have to go through the installation procedure.

Select Run and Next for all the following windows until you reach the Finish button.

Once the installation is complete you will find a Model Maker Systems folder in your All Programs window.

Go ahead and run the Mmw.exe inside the Model Maker Systems folder.

Once Model Maker runs you will be presented with the startup window from which you should choose Run in DEMO mode.

At this stage you will be presented with a complete Model Maker interface.

A. The top toolbar controls the visual appearance as well as configuration.

B. The left sidebar is mostly in charge of accessing the different modules.

1. From the left menu, go ahead and select the Irr button

2. You will be presented with the Irrigation window with the Project tab selected.

Give the project a name.

3. Click the Blocks tab and give your new block a name and description. Click the Add New button and complete the steps to add a block.

4. After you added the new block, the layout window will contain options to add laterals with different emitter and row spacing. Click fill laterals and place the laterals in the block.

This should be a good foundation from which an irrigation designer can build.

We also work on agricultural business management, because our business
philosophy is to help our customers make money, by establishing strong
relations now and for future investments.

One of our jobs is to conceive, design and construct irrigation systems,
being Chile’s leader company in high complexity design projects, like
orchards on high slope hills, low energy consumption systems and low-drain
irrigation networks.

We have been using Irrimaker since 2004, and it has become an indispensable tool
for us. Closed-network analysis, 3D feature and his user-friendly graphic
interface are only a few of the remarkable features of this software, allowing us
to achieve high precision designs with optimum cost. We have designed more
than 8.000 hectares of drip and micro sprinkler irrigation, always getting
accurate and consequential results.

In the past, we also worked with other well known irrigation software, but the goodness, low cost upgrades, unlimited mail support and a constant improvement makes Irrimaker the best design tool for us.

Once you have an already designed Irrigation block you can proceed.

Find your way to the Irrigation Menu, Global and then Design&Calculate. In order for the pressures to be transferred, they need to be calculated first.

Run the calculation and then head over to the Info tab.

Select 1. Nodes,  2. Pressure and then the 3. Project in which the Points should be placed. Go ahead and click 4. Copy DTM then.

Select OK.

Once the points were created based on the pressures, you can see them in Project 2.

Note that the elevation of each point is the sprinkler pressure at this stage.

At this point you can create and display the triangles and contours based on the Pressure Points.

Finally by using the 3D you can clearly see the sprinkler pressures visually displayed for the design. You can also include the Irrigation in the 3D.

This is because the Central Meridian is now set in the Configuration window so that it can be saved with each project.
